Andrea Kimi Antonelli is confident that his F1 Canadian GP strategy is not compromised after qualifying mistakes have left him with limited tyre options.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli remains confident in his Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix strategy despite qualifying errors limiting his tyre options. He will begin the race from the second row on the grid, securing P4 in yesterday’s qualifying session at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Antonelli used up his final Medium tyre in Q2 due to a subpar opening lap, affecting his Q3 performance, nearly half a second behind his teammate’s pole lap. Though acknowledging the setback, Antonelli believes a new set of Medium tyres wouldn’t significantly compromise his race pace. Controlling tyre degradation will be crucial for a strong race performance in Montreal, where graining was a concern during practice sessions. Variable temperatures and tire management will play key roles in determining the outcome of the 70-lap Canadian Grand Prix for Antonelli and his team.
